I don’t care if you want to leave here
And I won’t care if you think I’m square
I don’t care if I’m going nowhere
I could get lost from anywhere
Grown tired of excuses, maybe
All of my holding back
Just remember I loved you, maybe
Nevermind how it all fell flat
It’s no wonder you warned me
It’s no wonder you warned me twice
It’s no wonder you warned me
I should’ve taken my own advice
I’m into all things new
A thought that doesn’t involve you
Forging through my own path
Leaving and filling gaps
With goals mapped out like a soldier
I’ll try dating someone older
I’ll try to be somewhat bolder
Be way cooler, but not colder
Now, I’m on my own
It’s no wonder you warned me
It’s no wonder you warned me twice
It’s no wonder you warned me
I should’ve taken my own advice
When I see myself out
When I see myself out
When I see myself out of your life
I don’t care if you want to leave here
And I won’t care if you think I’m square
I don’t care if I’m going nowhere
I should’ve taken my own advice

I froze at the knees
When you told me you’d leave
And any meaningful thing I could say
Was somewhere locked away
Still if ever you should need
Your place back here with me
I would open up the old wound again
Cause I hate how these things end
When it’s all the same
When it’s all the same to me
It’s all the same
When it’s all the same to me, to me
Well it’s looking to be
The coldest winter for me
While you’re smiling at her in my head
I’ll be alone with the bed
But one day we’ll all be friends
Cause this heart will yearn to mend
I’ll even let her eat the food off our plates
While you kiss her in my face
When it’s all the same
When it’s all the same to me
It’s all the same
When it’s all the same to me
I’m anything but proud

Tell me
04:25
|

Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love
I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you
But if you shame me
Well, I could kill you
I could break you in two
I’m not faking
So don’t be mistaken
See I’ve much better things to do
Call me hysterical
I’m really quite fine
I’m a woman
And a woman knows her mind
I am strong, I won’t quit trying
And I’m running, no I won’t run blind
Why must I wait?
I see no line
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do
And oh, my love I won’t run from you
I will let you be you
You be you
You’ll be...
Does it bother you that I’m forward?
Well I have a thoughtful mouth
While you spew sick intolerance
I’m afraid to leave my house
You can’t sign away my rights on a dotted line
I’m a woman and a woman knows her mind
When I’m gone, what will I leave behind?
The tracings of a world all mine
So your saddest crime
Would be to waste my time
Tell me your secrets in spite of you
Tell me the terrible things you’ll do

Centuries
03:27

Well I know
Everything sees changing
I suppose
It's time to rearrange
The lines that drove
My mind with a steady hand
When I'm all alone
It’s when I start to understand
What's been alive for centuries
Now, is choking me
When I step outside the door
I close my eyes, pretend that I don't see
A thousand judging eyes
Building blocks around me
Don't give into them
Your thoughts, they've been deceiving
What’s been alive for centuries
Been alive for centuries
Been a lie for centuries
Now, is choking me
Don’t give into them
Not everyone’s misleading
But you knew it, right?
You knew it right?
You just force a smile
Til it takes on new meaning
But you knew it, right?
You knew it right?
Yeah, you knew it right
You knew it alright
What’s been alive for centuries
Been alive for centuries

I can’t do this anymore
Feel like a waste of your time
I push myself to match your pace
And fall behind
Frozen by the door
I was never the kind
Told myself I’d stay right here
Have I lost my mind?
I’ve tried my best to keep quiet
While you work a room
But when you have a reason to shut me down
It’s only obvious to you
It’s only obvious to you, anymore
I must be your dog
Innocent and meek
Holding on to your every word
Versed in self-defeat
If I ask a thoughtful question
Can’t it get a true response?
Or will you speak in tongues like it’s over my head
And it’s only obvious to you
It’s only obvious to you
It’s only obvious
Do you think it’s fine?
Leave me hanging off the line
Do you need some time
To pull your head out of your ass and try?
Love will always fuck you over
Love will always fuck you over
Love will always fuck you in the head
It’s only obvious to you

Rum Cheeks
02:47
|

If I had my mind right
I would tell you what
Makes my heart ring
Makes my tongue sing
Makes the tip of my nose keep raising
At the site of your red rum cheeks
Yellow light beads tracing your pale feet
Pull me in
I’m ready to sleep
At your place
At your place
At our place?
A good pace
A good pace
A good pace
I feel safe
At our place

Bloomed
03:24
|
|||
I swam ‘cross the bend
When we were more than friends
I tore through endless jargon
Mapped uncharted gardens
Finding the words to forget you just flow
Now I’m living without you
My heart glows
I never would cry
With big tears in my eyes
Cause it made you feel stronger
Your tooth’s growing longer
My little tender soul
Bloomed and in control
Where I lay
Guided by sight
Where I lay
A light from inside

Not a Minute Too Soon
05:07
|
|||
I can’t decide
Where I want to hide
You have everything
You have everything
Oh wait, where am I?
I am lost here inside
You have everything
You have everything
And all it took was honesty
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of luck
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of love for you
All I did was try
Hoping you might change your mind
You have everything
You have everything
And all it took was honesty
To get me to believe in what I need
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of luck
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of love
Hold me now
Til I can’t breathe
Til I’m low
Til I’m empty
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of luck
Not a minute too soon
I was giving up
I was out of love for you
I was giving up
I was out of love for you

Oh, when you speak
How it echoes in my brain
I want to know how it all became
I want to know if there’s something to change
When will that be?
All this waiting
This waiting is killing me
Where am I going if I can’t see you?
Where am I going if I can’t pass through?
Oh, with the lights off I finally see
I want to know how it all gets set free
I want to know if there’s something unique within me
All this waiting
This waiting is killing me
Where am I going if I can’t see you?
Where am I going if I can’t pass through?
Take me down
Take me down when it’s raining
And from my lips, with what’s left
of me fading
I am in love with your mind

On Your Shoulder
04:25
|
|||
You say the words and I start humming
Fetching songs from your head
I like how you need two cups of water
On the nightstand by the bed
One’s not enough, you’ve said
I like to watch you
To see the dreams play out like fads
Unfurrow your brow for you
Don’t like to see you look so stressed
When you wake up
Come out slowly
I’ll be all you need
I am always on your shoulder
Whatever it takes to be your baby
Oh, you take the breath right out of my mouth
If you lead the way, I’ll never doubt you
I like to watch you
To see the dreams...
Wake up
Come out slowly
I’ll be all you need
I am always on your shoulder
Whatever it takes to be your baby
Whatever it takes

Take it All Away
05:29
|
|||
Take it in stride
And don’t let them ask anything when it hurts the most
And when you’re ready
I’ll be there silently
Holding your hand like a ghost
If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid
If you want it changed
Then wake up and claim it
Take it all away
It’s not that easy
And I don’t blame you for staying inside to lock things out
Lost track of the days
When biting my tongue left a standing taste of blood in my mouth
If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid
If you want it changed
Then wake up and claim it
Wake up and claim it
Take it all away
Break down that sorrow
Rebuild things tomorrow
Take it all away
